These are the seasons that tell you if youre on a bandwagon!

Yeah I'm pissed and realize we aren't as good as we thought. I think we need some new offensive thoughts. I also know that nobody feels worse than the guys who worked all off season to prove we deserved all the credit we got. They worked a lot harder than any of us and have more riding on every play than most of us realize. I'll still watch every game, no matter what bowl game, and have a damn good time doing it!

That's a real fan IMO, if you don't agree with most of that, you are on the bandwagon. Now at least you know who we are talking about.

So even a level headed fan can't be aggravated by the stuff we've seen the past few weeks?

I'm a Tiger through and through and have pulled for them since I was little.

We are better than we're playing and the coaches, and this falls to Miles as well, aren't getting the offensive players up and ready to play the next game.

The offense looks completely lost, and that's being nice. I won't dump on anyone or any group in particular but that's the truth. That falls on coaching. Here we are going into our 7th week and we, on offense, look like it's still our first game of the season.

The offense needs to step up and play to their potential and whatever has been dogging them the past few weeks needs to go away. I have no idea what it is but there's something not clicking on offense. I think we can all agree there.

I'm sick of seeing the offense out there for 5 min, punt, then the defense has to step up and keep us in the game. The D can only do so much. The offense needs to help out the defense if that makes any sense.

Sorry, but I'm not going to bury my head in the sand and pretend everything is just perfect. There are major issues on offense and that needs to change. I'm not going to turn a blind eye and pretend we just "haven't been executing correctly" for 6 weeks now.

I mostly agree but I think 95% of us here are real fans. I don't mind the passion that our fanbase shows even if it comes off as us being winey bitches. I just don't like the ones that say I'm not watching again until miles is fired or I'm not watching again until we bench Jefferson or whatever.

You are missing the point, read the op again.

I know we have issues and I think it's a staffing or coaching issue.

I also know the players are the last people that want to lose or let anyone down.

I also know that even if they lose from here on out, I'll watch every second and be pulling for a win. Regardless if its someone we should beat by 50. I may be pissed the whole game but ill be planted on the couch until its over.

I read it and I know what your'e getting at.

I know you said and agree that we have issues. We do.

I would agree however, there is something amiss on the offense. I didn't think Mett tried to rally the other players. Those that were at the game yesterday said that he really did. The players just sat there. I don't know what the issue is, if he hasn't "earned" their respect or whatever, but that's no reason to just not play. Whatever it is needs to go away.

So will most of us on here. I'll be at every home game. I have been for years.

Those that are crying that they're never going to watch a game again and this and that..... whatever, you can't fix that.

However, I don't think that voicing concerns, in a level headed way, makes you a bandwagon fan.

Actually, I think the ones losing their mind over it are the bandwagon fans.
